I'm in the infancy stage of building a directory. As of this writing I have 1,687,176 listings - more than 1.5 million. I needed to download my database. But when I tried through PhyMyAdmin, I spent about 45 minutes and got to "maybe" 2%. Of course, during the download my site was unavailable because MySQL was taking up so much of my dedicated server resources.
So I stopped and began searching another option.
I just happened across a forum where someone had a link to Sypex.
I didn't know if it would work or not.
I installed and went through the process (not really well documented, but even "I" could figure out how to use the software) and was surprised that in less than 5 minutes, my 642.6MB database was saved to the "backup" directory within the files.
I then downloaded the compressed file in about 10 minutes.
I'm VERY impressed! Especially when I find something simple, compact, and fast - for FREE!
Thank you!

Thanks a lot for this master piece of software !! the speed is incredible
Backing and restoring databases is really a pleasure with Sypex
version 20.5 is working fine, however 2.0.6 has a user access denied bug described in your forum by a user

Nice project, neat UI
will be nice to have scheduler in UI, and cron.php to run scheduler jobs.
mysql have option to use binary logs for 'partial backup', I know mysql-zrm (zmanda) is using such option.
